Man United complete agreement for Ugarte

Manuel Ugarte will join United just a year after PSG paid Sporting Lisbon £51.1m for his services.

The midfielder led the top flight of French football in tackles last season (98) despite only starting 21 games across the 2023/24 campaign.

The 23-year-old Uruguayan, who was the United’s primary midfield target throughout the window, is expected in Old Trafford on Tuesday to have a medical and sign off on personal terms.

Both clubs have come to a compromise given the willingness of all parties to get a deal done.

United will pay an initial of £50m but the deal could be worth as much as £50.7m (€60m) including performance-related add-ons according to Fabrizio Romano

Ugarte was left out of PSG’s match-day squad in their Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre, which ended in a comfortable 4-1 win for the reigning champions.
